You mean the mirror goes up as you wind the shutter? Or the mirror is just
locked up and won't come down until you hit 'reset'? If it is the first
case, mirror isa not latching for the down position, so as shutter is wound
(and mirror is tensioned) it goes up on it's own. Could be sticky latch,
broken latch, etc.
